Bath resealing in Stretton without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stretton as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stretton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Warrington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stretton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Stretton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our full price list.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Stretton: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
