Bath resealing at your home in Sourton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.

FAQs for Sourton

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long before I can shower?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Sourton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Sourton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
