Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Bath resealing in Colt's Hill without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Resealing in Colt's Hill: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Colt's Hill

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Colt's Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
