About our bath resealing in Watnall

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Watnall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Watnall

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Signs you need bath resealing in Watnall

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
