Bath resealing near Ulverston

About our bath resealing in Ulverston

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include stained silicone and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulverston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Ulverston questions

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ulverston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Ulverston?

We do. Technicians travel to Ulverston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
