Bath resealing near Watchfield

Bath resealing in Watchfield, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When to call us in Watchfield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what 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 help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Watchfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
