Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baldersby St James

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What affects the price in Baldersby St James

We charge the same across the UK, including Baldersby St James. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Baldersby St James

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
