Bath Resealing in Ormiston
Local bath resealing for Ormiston: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Ormiston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Ormiston
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ormiston?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
When to call us in Ormiston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
Why it’s worth resealing in Ormiston
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
