Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Astbury

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

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

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Astbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Astbury

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
