Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Lower Ansty

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Do you come to Lower Ansty?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lower Ansty. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Ansty

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Ansty, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Ansty. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Ansty, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
