Resealing in Blakelow: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Bath resealing in Blakelow, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Blakelow

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Blakelow. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Blakelow and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Blakelow

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
