Bath resealing in Bolton Houses without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and stained silicone, we can generally put it right.

FAQs for Bolton Houses

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in Bolton Houses: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you are in Bolton Houses and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Bolton Houses

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
