Bath resealing for Halton homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Halton

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Landlord and trade work in Halton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
