When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Gannow Green

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

FAQs for Gannow Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gannow Green?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
