Bath resealing in High Cross, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from High Cross

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes High Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in High Cross

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in High Cross

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
