About our bath resealing in Larkton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Larkton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: 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 you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Questions from Larkton

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does resealing take?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

Everywhere in the UK, Larkton included. Travel is included in the price.
