Bath resealing in Southtown, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

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

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Southtown customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Southtown

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Southtown

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Southtown contact us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Southtown

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Southtown?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Different materials, different repairs

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, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
