Trusted bath resealing in North End

Bath resealing at your home in North End

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in North End

What information do you need?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does bath resealing cost in North End?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Common problems we fix in North End

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Look out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in North End

We charge the same across the UK, including North End. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
