Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Preston Candover, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Preston Candover: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Preston Candover

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Preston Candover get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
