Common problems we fix in London Docklands

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

Common reasons people in London Docklands contact us are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions from London Docklands

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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 a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
