Need bath resealing in Stretton?

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath resealing in Stretton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stretton and across Staffordshire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Stretton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Stretton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Stretton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Stretton

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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