Trusted bath resealing in Great Fossend

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
