Bath resealing for Saighton homes

Can I fix it myself?

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Saighton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Saighton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Saighton. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Questions from Saighton

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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