How to compare quotes

Bath resealing in Langham without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Langham questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you cover Langham?

We do. Technicians travel to Langham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE15 postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Resealing in Langham: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Langham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
