Bath resealing at your home in Tongue

All of the old sealant is cut out, 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. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tongue as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Tongue. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Tongue

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Tongue?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tongue and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tongue. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
