DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath resealing at your home in Heath Charnock

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Heath Charnock

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Heath Charnock

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Heath Charnock. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there a call-out fee?

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