Bath resealing for Wetheral homes

Bath resealing at your home in Wetheral

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Wetheral

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Wetheral: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Wetheral?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wetheral. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Wetheral

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wetheral. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wetheral, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
