How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

How we handle bath resealing in Townstal

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

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

Townstal questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Townstal as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Townstal

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
