Bath resealing at your home in Rheda Park
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs 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 you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Rheda Park
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Rheda Park
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What affects the price in Rheda Park
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
