Bath resealing in Calver

Bath resealing at your home in Calver

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. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Calver

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calver

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
