Bath resealing near Locksbrook

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

About our bath resealing in Locksbrook

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Locksbrook and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Locksbrook: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
