How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Common problems we fix in Caldecott

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

Caldecott questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caldecott.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairs by material

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.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
