Bath resealing for Sharples homes

What affects the price in Sharples

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we handle bath resealing in Sharples

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Sharples: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Resealing in Sharples: 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath resealing in Sharples?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
