How we handle bath resealing in Flixton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Flixton

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we’re called out for in Flixton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Flixton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
