About our bath resealing in Sporle

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sporle

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Sporle

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need bath resealing in Sporle

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
