Bath resealing in Gold Hill without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gold Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

What we are called out for in Gold Hill

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Gold Hill

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I book?

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

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
