Bath resealing in Heights without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Heights and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heights use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Heights. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Heights: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
