Bath resealing in Handforth, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Handforth: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Handforth: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Handforth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Handforth and the rest of Cheshire East. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Handforth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
