Bath resealing for St Cross homes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How we handle bath resealing in St Cross

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Cross as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for St Cross

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes St Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in St Cross

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in St Cross

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
