Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

About our bath resealing in Balderstone

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Balderstone

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions from Balderstone

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Blackburn with Darwen?

The whole UK, including all of Blackburn with Darwen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How much does bath resealing cost in Balderstone?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
