How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

About our bath resealing in Dolphinholme

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Dolphinholme. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Dolphinholme get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Dolphinholme: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is my repair covered?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dolphinholme

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Resealing in Dolphinholme: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
