Bath resealing in Earley, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Earley: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Earley

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Common questions in Earley

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Earley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
