Bath resealing near Slattocks

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Slattocks, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Slattocks

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Slattocks?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Slattocks and the rest of Rochdale. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Slattocks?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Slattocks. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Slattocks

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slattocks use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
