Bath resealing near Whaley Bridge

How we handle bath resealing in Whaley Bridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Whaley Bridge customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need bath resealing in Whaley Bridge?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Whaley Bridge: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
