Bath resealing in Keltybridge

About our bath resealing in Keltybridge

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Keltybridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Keltybridge

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why Keltybridge clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Keltybridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
