Bath resealing in Northmoor

About our bath resealing in Northmoor

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Northmoor. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Northmoor questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Oldham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Northmoor?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
