Bath resealing for Barrow homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Barrow

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Barrow questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Barrow

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Barrow?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.
