Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in King's Meaburn

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in King's Meaburn

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in King's Meaburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.

Common questions in King's Meaburn

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does silicone take to cure?
