Bath resealing in Cold Harbour without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Cold Harbour

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cold Harbour?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME17 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cold Harbour

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage

  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through 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. 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Do you need bath resealing in Cold Harbour?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Cold Harbour, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
