Bath resealing near Withington

About our bath resealing in Withington

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Withington

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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, with the joint fully dried first.

Withington: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Resealing in Withington: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Withington

We don’t charge extra for travel to Withington. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
