Bath resealing for Blackburn homes

About our bath resealing in Blackburn

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Blackburn questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

What we’re called out for in Blackburn

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

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