About our bath resealing in Tonge Corner

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Tonge Corner: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: 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.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath resealing in Tonge Corner

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in Tonge Corner

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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