Bath resealing in Whitehaven

What we’re called out for in Whitehaven

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

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Whitehaven, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Whitehaven

Do you come to Whitehaven?

We do. We send a technician to Whitehaven for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

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.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What affects the price in Whitehaven

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
