Bath resealing in Constantine

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath resealing in Constantine without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Constantine

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath resealing in Constantine?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
