Signs you need bath resealing in Turf Lea

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Turf Lea

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Turf Lea as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Turf Lea questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stockport.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Turf Lea?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Turf Lea. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • One price list for the whole UK

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
