Bath resealing for Calder Bridge homes

Bath resealing at your home in Calder Bridge

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Resealing in Calder Bridge: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Calder Bridge

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA20 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calder Bridge

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Calder Bridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
