Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in Down End

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bath resealing in Down End

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Down End questions

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
