Bath resealing in Sheldwich

Bath resealing in Sheldwich without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Sheldwich

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Sheldwich?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sheldwich from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Sheldwich

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Sheldwich clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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