Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Combs. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Bath resealing in Combs, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Do you need bath resealing in Combs?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
