We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps.

Common questions in Longburton

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures 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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Longburton.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Resealing in Longburton: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we are called out for in Longburton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Longburton

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
