About our bath resealing in Stobswood

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
