The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Cross customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Cross

If you manage property in Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Cross

How much does bath resealing cost in Cross?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you cover Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
