Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

Air the room after use
Ventilate the bathroom well
Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
We dry the joint thoroughly.
We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

Open a window if you can
Let the surface dry out before the visit
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Black mould in bath sealant: clean it or reseal?

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

How much damage there is
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The material and finish
Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

Any details about the material
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Your postcode, so we can check dates
One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Cranbrook questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Cranbrook?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cranbrook for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cranbrook?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
