Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lower Thurvaston

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
