Why it’s worth resealing in Whitecross

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

How we handle bath resealing in Whitecross

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we are called out for in Whitecross

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

There’s no charge for travel to Whitecross. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
