Bath resealing in Walton on the Wolds

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Walton on the Wolds?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

FAQs for Walton on the Wolds

Are there extra charges for Walton on the Wolds?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walton on the Wolds use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
