Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Heywood

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Your questions about bath resealing in Heywood

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Heywood?

We do. We send a technician to Heywood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Heywood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
