Why it’s worth resealing in Caldbeck

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

What we are called out for in Caldbeck

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Caldbeck contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Caldbeck

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

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

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Landlord and trade work in Caldbeck

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Caldbeck: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caldbeck.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long will it take?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Caldbeck

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

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’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
