Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Upper Welland

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Welland

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Upper Welland: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Common problems we fix in Upper Welland

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Choosing a repair company

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.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
