Bath resealing at your home in Scholes

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. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Scholes

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Scholes?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Scholes. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Scholes

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath resealing in Scholes?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
