Bath resealing at your home in Cross Houses
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross Houses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Cross Houses
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Cross Houses?
We do. We send a technician to Cross Houses for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When to call us in Cross Houses
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
