Bath resealing near Tunstall

Bath resealing at your home in Tunstall

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stoke-on-Trent.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Tunstall

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work in Tunstall?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tunstall and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Tunstall

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Tunstall?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
