Bath resealing in Toab, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Toab

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

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Toab

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Why it’s worth resealing in Toab

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Toab: your questions answered

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Toab, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
