Bath resealing in Sunnymead without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Sunnymead. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sunnymead

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
