Bath resealing in Matshead

Bath resealing in Matshead without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Matshead

We charge the same across the UK, including Matshead. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Matshead get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Matshead?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

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

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

FAQs for Matshead

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover Matshead?

We do. We send a technician to Matshead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
