Bath Resealing in Wigan

Bath resealing at your home in Wigan

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath resealing

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

• Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
• How much damage there is
• Doing more than one item at once
• What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

• Where you are, by postcode
• The material, if you know it
• Natural light rather than flash
• Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

• Clean the sealant gently and regularly
• Reseal when black spots will not clean off
• Open a window after bathing
• Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
