Resealing in Rock-a-Nore: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath resealing in Rock-a-Nore

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Rock-a-Nore?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Rock-a-Nore. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rock-a-Nore as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
