Bath resealing at your home in New Mill End

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Common questions in New Mill End

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in New Mill End.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long before I can shower?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Mill End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

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

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
