Bath resealing for Pot Bank homes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing in Pot Bank without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pot Bank as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Pot Bank: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you work in Pot Bank?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pot Bank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Pot Bank

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Pot Bank

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Pot Bank

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
