How we handle bath resealing in Bollington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bollington as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Bollington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Bollington

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bollington: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bollington?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Bollington: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
