Bath resealing in Middleton

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

How we handle bath resealing in Middleton

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Middleton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Middleton

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Common problems we fix in Middleton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
