Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Camperdown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Questions from Camperdown

Are there extra charges for Camperdown?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Camperdown, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
