Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Wistow questions

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you come to Wistow?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wistow. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wistow

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wistow

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Wistow

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Wistow

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
