Bath resealing near Matterdale End

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing in Matterdale End without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and stained silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Matterdale End

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Matterdale End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Matterdale End

Does someone need to be in?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Signs you need bath resealing in Matterdale End

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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