Bath resealing in Hale

Bath resealing in Hale without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hale

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Hale questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
