About our bath resealing in North Green

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for North Green

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, North Green included. Travel is included in the price.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you come to North Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

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

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in North Green

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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