Bath resealing for Lower Westholme homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing in Lower Westholme, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Westholme

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Lower Westholme questions

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.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Lower Westholme

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Lower Westholme

There is no charge for travel to Lower Westholme. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

If you’re in Lower Westholme and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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