What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Winstanley

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. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winstanley and across Wigan.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Winstanley: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Winstanley

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
