Bath resealing in Bank Hey

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our bath resealing in Bank Hey

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bank Hey questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can you do it?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bank Hey and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Landlord and trade work in Bank Hey

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Bank Hey. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

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