Bath resealing in Nettlestone without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Nettlestone

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Nettlestone: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Nettlestone?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PO34 postcode.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When to call us in Nettlestone

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Nettlestone

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
