Whitecross: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Whitecross?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Whitecross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we handle bath resealing in Whitecross

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Whitecross

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitecross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whitecross

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitecross

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
