Bath resealing for Fox Street homes

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Bath resealing in Fox Street without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Fox Street. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Fox Street?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Fox Street: your questions answered

How much does bath resealing cost in Fox Street?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO7 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fox Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
