Bath resealing at your home in Tinker Hey

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Tinker Hey: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Resealing in Tinker Hey: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Tinker Hey clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Tinker Hey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
