What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What affects the price in Reculver
There’s no charge for travel to Reculver. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Reculver
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Reculver questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Reculver.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
