Bath resealing for Stoke homes

What affects the price in Stoke

There’s no area surcharge for Stoke. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Most customers in Stoke get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing in Stoke, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke

If you manage property in Stoke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Stoke

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Stoke. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Common problems we fix in Stoke

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Stoke: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
