Trusted bath resealing in Odell

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Bath resealing in Odell, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Odell

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Odell: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Odell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Odell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
