Bath resealing near Silverdale

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Bath resealing in Silverdale, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Silverdale

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverdale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Silverdale

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Silverdale

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are there extra charges for Silverdale?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
