About our bath resealing in Stocking

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Stocking

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Stocking included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Stocking?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Are there extra charges for Stocking?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stocking. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stocking

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
