Bath resealing near Sabden

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Sabden without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Sabden customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Sabden

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Sabden

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sabden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Sabden

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sabden

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sabden?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We cover the entire UK, including Sabden and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
