Bath resealing at your home in Walkern

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Walkern

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Walkern?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Walkern and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Walkern

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Walkern

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
