Bath resealing in Caton

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Bath resealing at your home in Caton

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Caton questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Caton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does bath resealing cost in Caton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA2 postcode.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

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

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Caton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
