Bath resealing in Temple End, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Temple End and across Hertfordshire.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Temple End. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Temple End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Temple End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Temple End: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Temple End?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Temple End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Temple End?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SG4 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

What we are called out for in Temple End

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
