Bath resealing for Heron Cross homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Heron Cross

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stoke-on-Trent.

Resealing in Heron Cross: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Heron Cross customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Your questions about bath resealing in Heron Cross

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need bath resealing in Heron Cross?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

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

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Heron Cross

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

Landlord and trade work in Heron Cross

If you manage property in Heron Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Heron Cross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Heron Cross, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
