What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our bath resealing in Leckhampton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Leckhampton

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

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.

How long before I can shower?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Leckhampton

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Leckhampton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
