About our bath resealing in Carrington

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Carrington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Carrington

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the entire of Trafford?

Everywhere in the UK, Carrington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

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

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover Carrington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Carrington and the rest of Trafford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Carrington

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Carrington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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