Bath resealing near Cliffe

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle bath resealing in Cliffe

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

What affects the price in Cliffe

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Cliffe questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you come to Cliffe?

We do. We send a technician to Cliffe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Cliffe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Cliffe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need bath resealing in Cliffe?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
