Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
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 are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Great Amwell
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
