How we handle bath resealing in Cuffley

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Cuffley: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does a reseal take?

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

When to call us in Cuffley

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
