What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

About our bath resealing in Halton Lodge

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and unsealed corners.

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

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Halton Lodge. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Halton Lodge

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Halton Lodge: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

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