How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Whitwell

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Whitwell is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Whitwell. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Whitwell

If you manage property in Whitwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Resealing in Whitwell: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Whitwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
