What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Longford: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longford

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Longford questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

The whole UK, including all of Telford and Wrekin. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
