Bath resealing in Hopton, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hopton and across Staffordshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Advice

FAQs for Hopton

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ST18 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Hopton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hopton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
