Do you need bath resealing in Horton?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Horton

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton

If you manage property in Horton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Horton: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
