About our bath resealing in Great Whittington

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we’re called out for in Great Whittington

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

FAQs for Great Whittington

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Great Whittington?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Are there extra charges for Great Whittington?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
