Bath resealing for Landport homes

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

About our bath resealing in Landport

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Landport, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about bath resealing in Landport

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Landport?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Do you need bath resealing in Landport?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
