Bath resealing at your home in Stoke Row

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stoke Row and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Stoke Row

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stoke Row?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Stoke Row, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stoke Row

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

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

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Stoke Row. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stoke Row. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
