Bath resealing for Ifold homes

Bath resealing in Ifold, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Ifold: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ifold

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ifold questions

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH14 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ifold included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Ifold

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
