Bath resealing at your home in Leekbrook

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Leekbrook

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
