A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath resealing in Willingham by Stow

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When to call us in Willingham by Stow

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
