Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Checkley, Cheshire East
Bath resealing in and around Checkley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our bath resealing in Checkley
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

What affects the price in Checkley
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
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.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

How much does bath resealing cost in Checkley?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
