We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Your questions about bath resealing in Snargate

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Snargate.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Snargate

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Snargate

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Snargate

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
