Bath resealing in Wrafton, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Wrafton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we’re called out for in Wrafton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wrafton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
