About our bath resealing in Preston-under-Scar

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Preston-under-Scar

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath resealing in Preston-under-Scar?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Preston-under-Scar

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Preston-under-Scar?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Preston-under-Scar. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
