Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Burnfoot questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you cover Burnfoot?

We do. Technicians travel to Burnfoot from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need bath resealing in Burnfoot?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Use 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.
