Need bath resealing in Heyrod?

Bath resealing at your home in Heyrod

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Tameside.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Heyrod

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Heyrod?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK15 postcode.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Heyrod. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Heyrod, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
