About our bath resealing in Penketh

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Penketh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Penketh

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Penketh is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Penketh

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
