Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Brafield-on-the-Green

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Brafield-on-the-Green questions

Do you come to Brafield-on-the-Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brafield-on-the-Green and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Brafield-on-the-Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Brafield-on-the-Green

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Brafield-on-the-Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
