How we handle bath resealing in Tintwistle

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Tintwistle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Tintwistle. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
