Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Childwick Green without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need bath resealing in Childwick Green?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Childwick Green

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Childwick Green?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why it’s worth resealing in Childwick Green

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
