When to call us in North Rigton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Resealing in North Rigton: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

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 typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from North Rigton

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
