About our bath resealing in Tophill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right.

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

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Tophill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need bath resealing in Tophill?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Tophill: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
