Bath resealing in Elton without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Resealing in Elton: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Elton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath resealing in Elton

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE4 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repairs by material

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.
