Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Bretby

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

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.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Bretby: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bretby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Bretby?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
