Bath resealing at your home in West Stoke

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Stoke as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Resealing in West Stoke: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Stoke. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to West Stoke. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in West Stoke

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for West Stoke?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does resealing take?

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

Common problems we fix in West Stoke

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
