About our bath resealing in Horsebridge

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Horsebridge questions

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How long will it take?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Horsebridge?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Horsebridge: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
