Trusted bath resealing in Scrabster

How we handle bath resealing in Scrabster

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why it’s worth resealing in Scrabster

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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Scrabster

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Scrabster questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
