Bath resealing in Bucklow Hill, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bucklow Hill and across Cheshire East.

What affects the price in Bucklow Hill

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Resealing in Bucklow Hill: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Bucklow Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for Bucklow Hill

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there any odour?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Bucklow Hill and the rest of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Common problems we fix in Bucklow Hill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking
