Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Wilthorpe, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wilthorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Wilthorpe

We charge the same across the UK, including Wilthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
