Bath resealing in Moorside, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Moorside: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Moorside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What affects the price in Moorside

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Moorside questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What do you need from me?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
