Trusted bath resealing in World's End

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing in World's End without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in World's End

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from World's End

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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