How we handle bath resealing in Isle of Whithorn

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Isle of Whithorn

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Isle of Whithorn. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Advice

When to call us in Isle of Whithorn

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
