Wiggaton questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wiggaton.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiggaton
For anyone letting property in or around Wiggaton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Wiggaton. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Wiggaton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Wiggaton
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
