Your questions about bath resealing in High Legh

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we’re called out for in High Legh

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for High Legh. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
