Bath resealing in Cornwood, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work 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. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Common questions in Cornwood

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How do I book?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Cornwood

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cornwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
