Bath resealing for Wigton homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Wigton, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Wigton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

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

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Wigton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wigton.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Wigton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wigton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wigton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.
