Bath resealing in Mossy Lea without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Mossy Lea questions

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you cover Mossy Lea?

We do. Technicians travel to Mossy Lea from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
