Bath resealing in The Burroughs without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Burroughs as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in The Burroughs

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
