How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in Salfords

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Salfords: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you cover Salfords?

We do. Technicians travel to Salfords from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Salfords. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
