Bath resealing in Coniston, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Coniston: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA21 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why it’s worth resealing in Coniston

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Coniston customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
