Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Elton, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Elton questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Elton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Are there extra charges for Elton?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we’re called out for in Elton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
