Trusted bath resealing in Matley

Bath resealing in Matley, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Matley

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Matley

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Matley

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Matley

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
