What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about bath resealing in Padiham

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Padiham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Padiham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Padiham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What affects the price in Padiham

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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