Common questions in Cattal

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the entire of York?

We work UK-wide, so Cattal is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

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

About our bath resealing in Cattal

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cattal, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cattal

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cattal

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
