Bath resealing in Rockcliffe

Bath resealing at your home in Rockcliffe

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, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why it’s worth resealing in Rockcliffe

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Rockcliffe customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Rockcliffe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Rockcliffe

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

We work UK-wide, so Rockcliffe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
