Bath resealing in Guide

Bath resealing in Guide, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

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

Questions from Guide

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Guide

We do not charge extra for travel to Guide. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Guide and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Most customers in Guide get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

Do you need bath resealing in Guide?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
