About our bath resealing in Roughmussel

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roughmussel

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Roughmussel

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Roughmussel

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
