Bath resealing for Common Moor homes

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Common Moor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

About our bath resealing in Common Moor

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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.

Common questions in Common Moor

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
