Bath resealing near Ewood

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Ewood

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Blackburn with Darwen.

Common problems we fix in Ewood

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

Ewood: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
