Trusted bath resealing in South Dell

How we handle bath resealing in South Dell

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Resealing in South Dell: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking

When to call us in South Dell

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

FAQs for South Dell

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including South Dell. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Dell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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