Trusted bath resealing in Nether Alderley

About our bath resealing in Nether Alderley

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Nether Alderley

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

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.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you are in Nether Alderley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Nether Alderley

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.

How long will it take?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
