How we handle bath resealing in Winshill

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Winshill questions

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Winshill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Winshill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
