Bath resealing in Ibstock, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ibstock

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ibstock

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ibstock?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
