Bath resealing for Goostrey homes

Bath resealing at your home in Goostrey

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Goostrey

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Goostrey

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
