About our bath resealing in Wreay

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wreay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Wreay

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

10 questions to ask before booking

Wreay questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Wreay. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wreay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
