Bath resealing in Colby

Bath resealing at your home in Colby

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need bath resealing in Colby

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Colby

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Colby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Colby. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there a guarantee?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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