Trusted 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.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

About our bath resealing in Clifton

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Clifton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When to call us in Clifton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Resealing in Clifton: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old 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.
