About our bath resealing in Duddon Bridge

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, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Duddon Bridge

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Duddon Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Duddon Bridge

How much does bath resealing cost in Duddon Bridge?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Duddon Bridge?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
