Bath resealing in Crosspool without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Crosspool and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

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

FAQs for Crosspool

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Crosspool?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crosspool from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Common problems we fix in Crosspool

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
