Bath resealing for Old Rayne homes

Bath resealing in Old Rayne without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Rayne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Old Rayne and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Old Rayne customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Old Rayne

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Rayne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

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.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Questions from Old Rayne

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Old Rayne?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Rayne?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
