Bath resealing in Fletchertown, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fletchertown

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Fletchertown: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Fletchertown included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why it’s worth resealing in Fletchertown

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add 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.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.
