Bath resealing near Lower Walton

Bath resealing in Lower Walton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Lower Walton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Walton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lower Walton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
