Bath resealing for Whalley Range homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

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

Bath resealing in Whalley Range, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

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

When to call us in Whalley Range

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Whalley Range. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Whalley Range get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Whalley Range

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Whalley Range?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Whalley Range

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
