Bath resealing for Clough Head homes

About our bath resealing in Clough Head

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s 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, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Clough Head. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common problems we fix in Clough Head

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
