Bath resealing for Stonebridge homes

Stonebridge: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Stonebridge?

We do. We send a technician to Stonebridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Stonebridge?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Bath resealing in Stonebridge without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Stonebridge customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Stonebridge. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Stonebridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Stonebridge

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
