Bath resealing in Gilgarran

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we handle bath resealing in Gilgarran

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Gilgarran

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Gilgarran. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Gilgarran, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
