Trusted bath resealing in Chart Sutton

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath resealing at your home in Chart Sutton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Chart Sutton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Chart Sutton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does a reseal take?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chart Sutton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
