Trusted bath resealing in Goldcliff

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goldcliff use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Goldcliff

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

Common questions in Goldcliff

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.
