Need bath resealing in Boughton Lees?

Boughton Lees: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Bath resealing in Boughton Lees, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Boughton Lees, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Boughton Lees, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Is resealing worth it?

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

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
