Bath resealing for Calthwaite homes

Bath resealing in Calthwaite, done in place

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. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Calthwaite

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Calthwaite?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA11 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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 will quote them together.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When to call us in Calthwaite

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
