Bath resealing in Wrightington

Do you need bath resealing in Wrightington?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Wrightington, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

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

Wrightington: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wrightington?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Wrightington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Wrightington

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

What affects the price in Wrightington

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
