Bath resealing in Crofton, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Crofton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crofton?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BR6 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Crofton clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t 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

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