Trusted bath resealing in Sanclêr

Bath resealing in Sanclêr without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sanclêr, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

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

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Sanclêr

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Sanclêr contact us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
