How we handle bath resealing in Ickford

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

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 we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Ickford

Do you work in Ickford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ickford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ickford?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HP18 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
