Trusted bath resealing in Clotton

How we handle bath resealing in Clotton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Clotton: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
