Bath resealing at your home in Lea

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lea

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lea.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Are there extra charges for Lea?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lea

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
