About our bath resealing in Alderley Edge

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why it’s worth resealing in Alderley Edge

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about bath resealing in Alderley Edge

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What affects the price in Alderley Edge

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
