Bath resealing at your home in Seton

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Seton

There is no area surcharge for Seton. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Seton?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Seton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

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