Need bath resealing in Burnage?

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we handle bath resealing in Burnage

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Burnage questions

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Burnage?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Burnage. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stockport.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
