Hale Bank: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Bath resealing at your home in Hale Bank
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hale Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hale Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Signs you need bath resealing in Hale Bank
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
