Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing at your home in Milebush

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Milebush

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Milebush. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Milebush

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Common problems we fix in Milebush

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
