Bath resealing in Round Bush, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • 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. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Round Bush. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Round Bush questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
