Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Sapperton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sapperton as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Sapperton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sapperton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sapperton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sapperton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing.

Do you need bath resealing in Sapperton?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sapperton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price
