Bath resealing for Sandbach homes

Bath resealing in Sandbach without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Sandbach

Do you work in Sandbach?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandbach and the rest of Cheshire East. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

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.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Sandbach. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
