Trusted bath resealing in Chapelgate

Bath resealing in Chapelgate without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chapelgate as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Chapelgate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chapelgate, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Chapelgate

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

When to call us in Chapelgate

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
