When to call us in Streethouse

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Streethouse without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Streethouse, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it 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
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

Streethouse questions

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Resealing in Streethouse: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Streethouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
