Trusted bath resealing in Bolton Woods

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing at your home in Bolton Woods

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Bolton Woods: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bolton Woods questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bolton Woods

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
