Need bath resealing in Rusher's Cross?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing in Rusher's Cross, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with 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 are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rusher's Cross as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Rusher's Cross questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Rusher's Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Rusher's Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Rusher's Cross

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
