Bath resealing near Milton of Leys

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

About our bath resealing in Milton of Leys

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Milton of Leys

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Milton of Leys

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Milton of Leys

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
