Bath resealing in Small Banks

Bath resealing in Small Banks, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Small Banks

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Small Banks

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Small Banks. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
