Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
