What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, 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. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Bath resealing in Highfield, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath resealing in Highfield?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Highfield questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Highfield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Highfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sheffield.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will it take?

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

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Highfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Highfield: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
