Common problems we fix in Whilton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal

Bath resealing at your home in Whilton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

Common questions in Whilton

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whilton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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.
