Bath resealing in Sale, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Sale

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Trafford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Sale

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M33 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
