Bath resealing at your home in Priory Heath

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Priory Heath: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can you do it?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you need bath resealing in Priory Heath?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Priory Heath

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why reseal now?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
