Bath resealing for Clayton homes

Bath resealing in Clayton without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Clayton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Clayton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Clayton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Common questions in Clayton

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Clayton?

We do. Technicians travel to Clayton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
