Trusted bath resealing in Chorley

How we handle bath resealing in Chorley

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

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

FAQs for Chorley

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Chorley?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
