Bath resealing in Balderstone

Bath resealing in Balderstone without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Balderstone

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Balderstone

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balderstone?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL11 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Are there extra charges for Balderstone?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Balderstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Balderstone and the rest of Rochdale. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
