How we handle bath resealing in Whitwell Common

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Whitwell Common

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Whitwell Common?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your S80 postcode.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitwell Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
