How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Crown, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Crown: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Crown

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Crown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
