Bath resealing near Whitton

Bath resealing in Whitton without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Whitton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Whitton

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Whitton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

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

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.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Whitton. Prices don’t change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Do you come to Whitton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whitton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
