About our bath resealing in Spinkhill

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Spinkhill

Do you cover Spinkhill?

We do. We send a technician to Spinkhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Spinkhill. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
