DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Resealing in Crossbank: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
