Bath resealing near Slaidburn

Bath resealing in Slaidburn without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Slaidburn

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why it’s worth resealing in Slaidburn

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Slaidburn

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
