Bath resealing in Tonge, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in Tonge

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

FAQs for Tonge

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Tonge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tonge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Tonge

  • Shower trays & enclosures

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Tonge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tonge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Tonge clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
