Trusted bath resealing in Leigh

Leigh: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

How long will it take?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Bath resealing in Leigh without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, 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 technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swindon.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Leigh

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Leigh, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath resealing in Leigh

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
