Bath resealing near Pilling Lane

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Pilling Lane

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Pilling Lane

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Pilling Lane. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Pilling Lane

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Pilling Lane included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you work in Pilling Lane?

We do. Technicians travel to Pilling Lane from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
