Trusted bath resealing in Stoughton

Bath resealing in Stoughton, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Stoughton

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

What affects the price in Stoughton

There’s no charge for travel to Stoughton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Stoughton questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
