When to call us in Moorclose

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Moorclose without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.

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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Moorclose

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Moorclose?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Moorclose from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Moorclose

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
