What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For anyone letting property in or around Kearsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Kearsley

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
