Bath resealing in Whitekirk

Bath resealing in Whitekirk without replacing anything

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. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Whitekirk: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
