Bath resealing near Whissendine

Bath resealing in Whissendine without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Whissendine

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why it’s worth resealing in Whissendine

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Whissendine

What a repair cannot fix

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Do you need bath resealing in Whissendine?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
