  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Burgh-by-Sands: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Burgh-by-Sands

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Burgh-by-Sands

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
