Bath resealing in Gibb Hill

Bath resealing in Gibb Hill, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gibb Hill and across Cheshire West and Chester.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Gibb Hill

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gibb Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gibb Hill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gibb Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gibb Hill

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Questions from Gibb Hill

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

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