Bath resealing near Shirrell Heath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Shirrell Heath without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Landlord and trade work in Shirrell Heath

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Shirrell Heath

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
