Bath resealing in Darnall, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Darnall. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Darnall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

For a price in Darnall, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Darnall: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S9 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
