DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing in Whitecross, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

What we’re called out for in Whitecross

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

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

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Whitecross

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
