Bath resealing for Old Dalby homes

Bath resealing at your home in Old Dalby

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Old Dalby: your questions answered

How much does bath resealing cost in Old Dalby?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Old Dalby

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Dalby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
