Bath resealing near Ribby

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bath resealing in Ribby, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Ribby

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Ribby

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We cover the whole UK, including Ribby and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ribby

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
