Bath resealing for St Ive Cross homes

Bath resealing in St Ive Cross without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ive Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
