Trusted bath resealing in Brooklands

Bath resealing at your home in Brooklands

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Brooklands

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Are there extra charges for Brooklands?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Trafford.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Most clients in Brooklands get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • 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. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Brooklands?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
