Bath resealing in Handbridge

How we handle bath resealing in Handbridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Handbridge

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Handbridge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath resealing in Handbridge

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
