10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing at your home in Crossens

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crossens and across Sefton.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Crossens questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Crossens.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What affects the price in Crossens

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
