About our bath resealing in Rowlatts Hill

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Rowlatts Hill

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rowlatts Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Rowlatts Hill

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Rowlatts Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
