Bath resealing for Greenside homes

Bath resealing at your home in Greenside

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Greenside and across Cumbria.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenside

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Greenside

FAQs for Greenside

Do you cover Greenside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Greenside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Greenside included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
