Trusted bath resealing in Cheetham Hill

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Cheetham Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cheetham Hill

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Cheetham Hill. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cheetham Hill

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
