How we handle bath resealing in Long Buckby Wharf
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Long Buckby Wharf
We charge the same across the UK, including Long Buckby Wharf. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Long Buckby Wharf and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What else we do in Long Buckby Wharf
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Long Buckby Wharf
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
