Bath resealing in Wharton

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Wharton, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Wharton customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wharton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Wharton

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Wharton. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wharton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
