Bath resealing at your home in Winkleigh

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Winkleigh: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Winkleigh

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Winkleigh

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Winkleigh customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
