Bath resealing in Littlemoss, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Littlemoss

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Littlemoss

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Littlemoss

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Littlemoss?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Littlemoss. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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.

What affects the price in Littlemoss

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Littlemoss. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Littlemoss: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
