Bath resealing near Claughton

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bath resealing in Claughton without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath resealing in Claughton

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Claughton

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Claughton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Claughton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlord and trade work in Claughton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
