Bath resealing in St Lawrence

How we handle bath resealing in St Lawrence

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in St Lawrence

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Common questions in St Lawrence

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Lawrence?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT11 postcode.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in St Lawrence

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
