Bath resealing near Rivington

Bath resealing at your home in Rivington

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Rivington

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Rivington included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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 pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Rivington customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Rivington

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
