Bath resealing in Steeple Bumpstead

About our bath resealing in Steeple Bumpstead

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steeple Bumpstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Will you leave a mess?

  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.

Resealing in Steeple Bumpstead: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Steeple Bumpstead

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
