Bath resealing for Quarrington Hill homes

About our bath resealing in Quarrington Hill

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Quarrington Hill: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Quarrington Hill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Quarrington Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Quarrington Hill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
