About our bath resealing in Winder

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Winder and across Cumbria.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winder. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Winder

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Questions from Winder

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

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

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Winder?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Winder and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
