How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Signs you need bath resealing in Fishley

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

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

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

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

Materials we work on in Fishley

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fishley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Common questions in Fishley

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fishley.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
