What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Common problems we fix in Havannah

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Havannah

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Havannah: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Havannah.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you cover Havannah?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Havannah. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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