Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Bath resealing in Bicknor without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bicknor use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Bicknor

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Bicknor

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Bicknor

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
