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, so the joint is at its widest.

About our bath resealing in St Kew Highway

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in St Kew Highway

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Kew Highway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why St Kew Highway customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
