Bath resealing for Tunnel End homes

Bath resealing in Tunnel End, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Tunnel End

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Tunnel End

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tunnel End

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price
