Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

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

Bath resealing in Cawthorpe without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Cawthorpe

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Resealing in Cawthorpe: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Cawthorpe customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Cawthorpe

If you manage property in Cawthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cawthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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