A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

Questions from Pipsden

When can you do it?

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?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Pipsden?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Pipsden: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
