Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

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

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Whittington, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Whittington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Whittington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Whittington questions

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We cover the whole UK, including Whittington and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whittington.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Whittington

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
