Bath resealing at your home in Stacksteads

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Stacksteads: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Stacksteads?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Stacksteads

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Resealing in Stacksteads: why it matters

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Stacksteads

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
