Bath resealing near Blackpool

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Blackpool, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Blackpool without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackpool use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Blackpool?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Blackpool

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Blackpool

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
