Trusted bath resealing in Earlestown

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Earlestown

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earlestown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Earlestown

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Earlestown?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Earlestown?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
