How we handle bath resealing in High Bickington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in High Bickington as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for High Bickington

Are there extra charges for High Bickington?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, 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 photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

When to call us in High Bickington

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
