Gurnett: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cheshire East.
Do you come to Gurnett?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gurnett. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath resealing in Gurnett
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why it’s worth resealing in Gurnett
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
