Bath resealing in Shadsworth, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shadsworth

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Shadsworth. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Shadsworth

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

For anyone letting property in or around Shadsworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When to call us in Shadsworth

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
