Bath resealing near Hoghton

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

How we handle bath resealing in Hoghton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Hoghton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hoghton

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Signs you need bath resealing in Hoghton

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

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

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

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.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Hoghton

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
