Bath resealing in Furze Platt without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Furze Platt

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Furze Platt. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When to call us in Furze Platt

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

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

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Common questions in Furze Platt

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are you accredited?

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