Bath resealing in Altham

About our bath resealing in Altham

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Altham: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you come to Altham?

We do. Technicians travel to Altham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Altham?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Altham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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