Bath resealing in Somerford

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

About our bath resealing in Somerford

All of the old sealant is cut out, 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. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Somerford

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

How to compare quotes

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Questions from Somerford

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Somerford and the rest of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you cover Somerford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Somerford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Somerford. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
