Bath resealing in Old Swan

Common questions in Old Swan

Are there extra charges for Old Swan?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Liverpool.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

About our bath resealing in Old Swan

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Old Swan

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Swan use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Old Swan

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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.

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

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Use 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. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
