Bath resealing for Wilmington homes

Bath resealing at your home in Wilmington

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in Wilmington?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

FAQs for Wilmington

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wilmington. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Wilmington. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
