Bath resealing in West Chelborough without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in West Chelborough

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in West Chelborough

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about bath resealing in West Chelborough

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What affects the price in West Chelborough

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in West Chelborough

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
