About our bath resealing in Moreleigh

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Common questions in Moreleigh

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Landlord and trade work in Moreleigh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Moreleigh

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

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

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
