Bath resealing for Glenfield homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Bath resealing in Glenfield without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Glenfield

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenfield

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Glenfield?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Resealing in Glenfield: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
