How we handle bath resealing in Overseal

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Overseal

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you come to Overseal?

We do. Technicians travel to Overseal from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Overseal

If you manage property in Overseal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Overseal, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Overseal clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
