Bath resealing in Gawsworth without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Gawsworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Gawsworth

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. 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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Gawsworth. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Gawsworth

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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