Resealing in Parkeston: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Parkeston questions

Do you cover Parkeston?

We do. We send a technician to Parkeston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath resealing in Parkeston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
