Bath resealing at your home in Cross

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. Whether it’s damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we’re called out for in Cross

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What affects the price in Cross

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

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Cross questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cross?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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.

Resealing in Cross: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
