Bath resealing for Oughtershaw homes

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath resealing in Oughtershaw

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Oughtershaw

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Questions from Oughtershaw

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oughtershaw

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Oughtershaw: why it matters
