How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Exning

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and unsealed corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Exning questions

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Exning. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Resealing in Exning: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Exning customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
