Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Cowling

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Cowling

How long does a reseal take?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cowling.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Cowling

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Cowling contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
