Bath resealing in Parkgate, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

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

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Parkgate

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Parkgate.

Are there extra charges for Parkgate?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Resealing in Parkgate: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
