Weddington: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we handle bath resealing in Weddington
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why it’s worth resealing in Weddington
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Weddington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weddington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Do you need bath resealing in Weddington?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
