Bath resealing in Eastoft

Bath resealing in Eastoft without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

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

Common questions in Eastoft

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

What we’re called out for in Eastoft

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
