How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Cleadon. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
