Trusted bath resealing in Exnaboe

Bath resealing in Exnaboe without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

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 work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Exnaboe. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Exnaboe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
