About our bath resealing in Freehold

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Freehold and across Oldham.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Freehold

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Freehold use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bath resealing in Freehold

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our full price list.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Freehold

Do you cover the entire of Oldham?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Freehold.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Freehold get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
