Bath resealing in Paddlesworth

Bath resealing in Paddlesworth without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.

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

  • Unsealed corners

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
