Bath resealing at your home in New Houses

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, we can help.

What affects the price in New Houses

There is no area surcharge for New Houses. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from New Houses

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in New Houses.

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in New Houses, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need bath resealing in New Houses

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
