Need bath resealing in Sticker?

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

About our bath resealing in Sticker

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sticker

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sticker use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Resealing in Sticker: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in Sticker

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Sticker

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Sticker?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
