Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Dandy Corner without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Dandy Corner

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Dandy Corner

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dandy Corner

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Shower trays & enclosures
