Bath resealing near Wilby

Bath resealing in Wilby, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

What we’re called out for in Wilby

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Wilby: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you come to Wilby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wilby and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wilby?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
