What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Materials we work on in Dalchalm

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalchalm

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalchalm use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Dalchalm

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What we are called out for in Dalchalm

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Common reasons people in Dalchalm contact us are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
