Bath resealing near Gawthorpe Green

Bath resealing in Gawthorpe Green 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 silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Gawthorpe Green

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gawthorpe Green

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

There is 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
