About our bath resealing in Legburthwaite

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Legburthwaite

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you come to Legburthwaite?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Legburthwaite. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does a reseal take?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Legburthwaite?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Legburthwaite

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Legburthwaite, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Legburthwaite. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Legburthwaite get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
