Bath resealing in Sparrowpit without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Resealing in Sparrowpit: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sparrowpit. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

See our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sparrowpit

For anyone letting property in or around Sparrowpit, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
