What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Resealing in Apedale: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in Apedale

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Apedale

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Apedale?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Apedale get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
