About our bath resealing in Failsworth

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Failsworth: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Failsworth

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Failsworth

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
