When to call us in Hale

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

How to compare quotes

Bath resealing at your home in Hale

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Hale

We charge the same across the UK, including Hale. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hale

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Resealing in Hale: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Hale questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Hale?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hale

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
