Bath resealing in Higher Hurdsfield without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Higher Hurdsfield. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Higher Hurdsfield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Higher Hurdsfield

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Hurdsfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Higher Hurdsfield: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

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

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
