Bath resealing in West Scrafton without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for West Scrafton

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in West Scrafton?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
