Bath resealing in Bromborough

Bath resealing at your home in Bromborough

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bromborough

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bromborough use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bromborough

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
