Bath resealing near Smallwood Hey

Bath resealing in Smallwood Hey without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Choosing a repair company

Smallwood Hey questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Smallwood Hey?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you come to Smallwood Hey?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smallwood Hey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
