Bath resealing near Humber

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

About our bath resealing in Humber

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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

Do you need bath resealing in Humber?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Humber. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
