Bath resealing near Sollom

Your questions about bath resealing in Sollom

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sollom

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Sollom, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Sollom

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sollom
