Bath resealing at your home in Upton-by-Chester

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Upton-by-Chester

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Upton-by-Chester

Do you cover Upton-by-Chester?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upton-by-Chester from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
