Bath resealing in Watch House Green without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Watch House Green

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Watch House Green?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM6 postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Watch House Green. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath resealing in Watch House Green

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
