Bath resealing in Clifton

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How we handle bath resealing in Clifton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Clifton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath resealing in Clifton

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does bath resealing cost in Clifton?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bristol, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Clifton?

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Clifton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
