All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pested

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Pested

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Pested?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pested from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Pested

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Pested

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Pested. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
