Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our bath resealing in Calton

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Calton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What information do you need?

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you need bath resealing in Calton?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
