Bath resealing in Sturry, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

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

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Sturry: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sturry included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sturry.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you need bath resealing in Sturry?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Sturry contact us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
