Bath resealing for Waltham Cross homes

Bath resealing in Waltham Cross, 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. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Waltham Cross

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Waltham Cross

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you come to Waltham Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waltham Cross and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 you know the cost before you book.
