Resealing in Sulham: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle bath resealing in Sulham

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sulham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
