Common problems we fix in Anstey
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Bath resealing at your home in Anstey
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Anstey
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Anstey get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why it’s worth resealing in Anstey
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Anstey: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
