Bath resealing in Haighton Top

Bath resealing in Haighton Top, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Haighton Top and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for Haighton Top

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Haighton Top

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.

Common reasons people in Haighton Top contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
