Bath resealing in Old Cleeve without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Cleeve as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Old Cleeve

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Read our pricing.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow 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 make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Old Cleeve

Do I need to be at home?

What affects the price in Old Cleeve

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
