Bath resealing at your home in Highmoor Cross

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Highmoor Cross

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

Highmoor Cross: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
