Bath resealing in Winlaton Mill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our bath resealing in Winlaton Mill

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Winlaton Mill

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Winlaton Mill

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
