Slapton questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Slapton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Slapton. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How we handle bath resealing in Slapton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Slapton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
