How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Bath resealing in Tostock, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 photos.

Common questions in Tostock

Will the price change on the day?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Tostock. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Landlord and trade work in Tostock

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tostock use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tostock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
