Bath resealing in Cheadle

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Cheadle without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Cheadle

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work in Cheadle?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cheadle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long will it take?

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

Are there extra charges for Cheadle?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Cheadle

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheadle

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheadle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
