How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Hangleton

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need bath resealing in Hangleton?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
