Bath resealing near Rhode

Bath resealing in Rhode without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Rhode questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Rhode

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
