Bath resealing in Whitwick, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Whitwick

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Whitwick customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Signs you need bath resealing in Whitwick

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Whitwick

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Whitwick, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
