How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

About our bath resealing in West Kirby

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Kirby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in West Kirby

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
