Our hiring checklist

About our bath resealing in Engine Common

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

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

Engine Common: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Engine Common?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
