About our bath resealing in Prestbury

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Prestbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Prestbury, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Prestbury

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Prestbury contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
