Bath resealing for Sidlow homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for 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. 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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

About our bath resealing in Sidlow

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Sidlow

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Sidlow. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Sidlow

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sidlow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Sidlow questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
