Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath resealing in Tubney without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tubney and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Tubney

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Resealing in Tubney: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Tubney

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Tubney

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
