Bath resealing near Hodgehill

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Hodgehill, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Hodgehill

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Hodgehill. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Hodgehill: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hodgehill and the rest of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Hodgehill

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Hodgehill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
