Bath resealing for Cragbank homes

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cragbank use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Bath resealing at your home in Cragbank

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we’re called out for in Cragbank

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 usually cheaper.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cragbank

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are there extra charges for Cragbank?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Do you work in Cragbank?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cragbank and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Cragbank is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Cragbank

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Cragbank. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cragbank, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
