How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Sawley

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

Common reasons people in Sawley contact us are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Sawley: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sawley?

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
