Trusted bath resealing in Wainfleet St Mary

What we’re called out for in Wainfleet St Mary

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Wainfleet St Mary without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Wainfleet St Mary. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wainfleet St Mary, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wainfleet St Mary

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Wainfleet St Mary?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wainfleet St Mary and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
