Why it’s worth resealing in Bickerstaffe

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bickerstaffe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

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

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your L39 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common questions in Bickerstaffe

Do you work in Bickerstaffe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bickerstaffe and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bickerstaffe

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
