Bath resealing at your home in Oakenshaw

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakenshaw

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Why it’s worth resealing in Oakenshaw

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Oakenshaw

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
