What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Your questions about bath resealing in West Heath

What areas do you cover?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does bath resealing cost in West Heath?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
