Common questions in Matching Green

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

About our bath resealing in Matching Green

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Resealing in Matching Green: 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • No need to remove anything

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Matching Green

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Matching Green. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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