Bath resealing for Sowerbutt's Green homes

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Sowerbutt's Green. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath resealing at your home in Sowerbutt's Green

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Sowerbutt's Green

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sowerbutt's Green?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
