Bath resealing for Whitemoor homes

How we handle bath resealing in Whitemoor

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Whitemoor: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL26 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why it’s worth resealing in Whitemoor

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When to call us in Whitemoor

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Whitemoor, and we will reply with a fixed price.
