Need bath resealing in Stapleton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Stapleton questions

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stapleton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DL2 postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Stapleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

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