What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Bath resealing in Broughton Cross without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Broughton Cross

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Broughton Cross: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we are called out for in Broughton Cross

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
