Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Common questions in Abthorpe

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it messy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
