Bath resealing near Ibworth

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we handle bath resealing in Ibworth

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.

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

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Ibworth questions

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Ibworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ibworth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Resealing in Ibworth: why it matters

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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
