Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Horsehold, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Resealing in Horsehold: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Horsehold

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath resealing in Horsehold

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Horsehold?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horsehold for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
