Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

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

When to call us in Maplehurst

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maplehurst

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maplehurst use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Maplehurst

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are there extra charges for Maplehurst?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Maplehurst clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
