Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watton at Stone

For anyone letting property in or around Watton at Stone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Watton at Stone

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Watton at Stone

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
