Bath resealing for Rochdale homes

Bath resealing in Rochdale without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Rochdale

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Rochdale

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
