Our hiring checklist

Stanford in the Vale: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stanford in the Vale?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
