Macclesfield: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

We cover the whole UK, including Macclesfield and the rest of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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 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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Macclesfield

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Macclesfield

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
