Bath resealing in Old Tree without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Signs you need bath resealing in Old Tree

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • What happens if they find more damage

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Old Tree

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Your questions about bath resealing in Old Tree

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
