Bath resealing in Cheadle Heath

Bath resealing in Cheadle Heath, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Cheadle Heath questions

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Cheadle Heath?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cheadle Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Cheadle Heath

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
