About our bath resealing in Sideway

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Sideway

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Stoke-on-Trent.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Sideway

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Sideway

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sideway

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
