How we handle bath resealing in Castor

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Castor

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Castor contact us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Castor

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
