What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Larkbeare

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Larkbeare

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Larkbeare

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Larkbeare get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
