Bath resealing in Higher Wincham

About our bath resealing in Higher Wincham

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Higher Wincham: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Higher Wincham

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Wincham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Higher Wincham

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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 will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Higher Wincham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
