Bath resealing across Halton: what to expect

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Halton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

How the damage happens

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Repairing versus replacing

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix.

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Your questions about bath resealing in Halton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
