Bath resealing in Waterside

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you manage property in Waterside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Waterside

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA6 postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Waterside?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
