Book bath resealing in Radfield

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath resealing in Radfield, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Radfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Radfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Radfield: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When to call us in Radfield

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
