Trusted bath resealing in Haughton

Bath resealing at your home in Haughton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Haughton

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Honest limits

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Haughton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Haughton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
