Bath resealing for High Clarence homes

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in High Clarence

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

About our bath resealing in High Clarence

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in High Clarence

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to High Clarence. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
