Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we handle bath resealing in Lower Key

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath resealing in Lower Key?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Key

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Key. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Key

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Lower Key questions

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can landlords book you?

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