Bath Resealing for Vange homes
Bath resealing across Vange and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

How we handle bath resealing in Vange
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Vange
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
