Bath resealing in Cardenden, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Do you need bath resealing in Cardenden?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Are there extra charges for Cardenden?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
