Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we are called out for in Kington

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

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Why it’s worth resealing in Kington

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Kington

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kington?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.
