Bath resealing for Cross homes

Bath resealing at your home in Cross

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

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

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Cross. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures 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.

How it works

On the day itself, there is 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. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Cross

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Common questions in Cross

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Cross

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
