Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Walton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Walton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Walton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Walton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What affects the price in Walton

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
