Need bath resealing in Crossford?

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing in Crossford without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Crossford?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What affects the price in Crossford

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
