Signs you need bath resealing in Brayford

  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath resealing in Brayford

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Brayford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

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

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brayford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Brayford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Brayford

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are there extra charges for Brayford?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
