FAQs for South Street

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What happens after I send photos?

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

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

About our bath resealing in South Street

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Do you need bath resealing in South Street?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
