Bath resealing in Lower Caldecote

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our bath resealing in Lower Caldecote

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Lower Caldecote

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG18 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Common problems we fix in Lower Caldecote

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why reseal now?

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 generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Caldecote. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Lower Caldecote and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
