Signs you need bath resealing in Shevington Moor

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shevington Moor

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
