What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Egypt. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

If you’re in Egypt and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Common questions in Egypt

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

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

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we are called out for in Egypt

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Egypt

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
