DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Aley Green

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

When to call us in Aley Green

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Aley Green: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
