Trusted bath resealing in The Banks

Bath resealing in The Banks, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

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

Materials we work on in The Banks

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The Banks: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Are there extra charges for The Banks?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in The Banks

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
