FAQs for Whittingham
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
What we are called out for in Whittingham
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Whittingham contact us are:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
