Bath resealing near Rawtenstall

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Rawtenstall

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Rawtenstall

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Rawtenstall. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Do you need bath resealing in Rawtenstall?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
