Common questions in Upper Staploe

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How much does bath resealing cost in Upper Staploe?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE19 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Upper Staploe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Upper Staploe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Bath resealing in Upper Staploe without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upper Staploe

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Common problems we fix in Upper Staploe

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
