Trusted bath resealing in Crossways

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing in Crossways, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crossways and across Dorset.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Crossways

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Crossways

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Crossways questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crossways?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Crossways

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossways

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Crossways, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
