Bath resealing for Top of Cragg homes

Bath resealing at your home in Top of Cragg

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

See our prices page.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Top of Cragg

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
