Bath resealing for Moorhouse homes

Bath resealing at your home in Moorhouse

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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 toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Moorhouse, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Common problems we fix in Moorhouse

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Moorhouse contact us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Moorhouse: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about bath resealing in Moorhouse

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does a reseal take?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
