Need bath resealing in Carlton?

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing in Carlton, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Carlton

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Carlton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Carlton: your questions answered

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
