FAQs for Colwich
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Colwich?
We do. We send a technician to Colwich for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
About our bath resealing in Colwich
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Colwich and across Staffordshire.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Colwich
There is no charge for travel to Colwich. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What else we do in Colwich
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
