Bellingham: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bellingham?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bellingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bellingham

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bellingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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.
