Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Cawkwell without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Cawkwell

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Cawkwell

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

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 there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
