Bath resealing for Four Crosses homes

How we handle bath resealing in Four Crosses

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. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Four Crosses: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you come to Four Crosses?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Four Crosses for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
