Trusted bath resealing in Halton West

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Halton West

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 water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Halton West: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Do you work in Halton West?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Landlord and trade work in Halton West

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
