Trusted bath resealing in Windy Harbour

Bath resealing at your home in Windy Harbour

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Windy Harbour

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Windy Harbour?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Windy Harbour from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Windy Harbour included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Windy Harbour. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Windy Harbour, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath resealing in Windy Harbour

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
