Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath resealing in Warter

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Warter as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Warter: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
