Bath resealing near North Whilborough

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Bath resealing at your home in North Whilborough

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Questions from North Whilborough

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send pictures?

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Signs you need bath resealing in North Whilborough

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for North Whilborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
