Bath resealing for Clivocast homes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

How we handle bath resealing in Clivocast

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Clivocast. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Clivocast

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Clivocast

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Are there extra charges for Clivocast?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.
