FAQs for Tunstall
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Bath resealing in Tunstall, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Tunstall?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath

- Missing sealant behind the taps

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Resealing in Tunstall: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
