Bath resealing in Orford without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Orford questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Warrington, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we’re called out for in Orford

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What affects the price in Orford

There is no charge for travel to Orford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
