Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Ingleton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Ingleton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ingleton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Ingleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
