Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in High Cross

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

High Cross: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including High Cross and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
