Bath resealing in Goosehill

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Goosehill without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and unsealed corners, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Goosehill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need bath resealing in Goosehill?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Goosehill

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Goosehill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
