How we handle bath resealing in Sidley

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Sidley

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sidley questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Sidley?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sidley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
