Trusted bath resealing in Low Row

Bath resealing at your home in Low Row

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Low Row

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Low Row

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Low Row

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Low Row?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Low Row

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
