  • Sealant that is split or lifting

About our bath resealing in Roughway

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Roughway

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Roughway included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Roughway

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughway use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roughway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Roughway get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
