Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Buntingford

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buntingford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
