Questions from Whitwell
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
About our bath resealing in Whitwell
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Whitwell
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Whitwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When to call us in Whitwell
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Whitwell contact us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
