Common questions in Pelaw
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
About our bath resealing in Pelaw
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Resealing in Pelaw: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
