Bath resealing in Tockholes without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Tockholes and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tockholes

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Tockholes.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

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

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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