FAQs for West Monkton
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes West Monkton. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Bath resealing in West Monkton without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we’re called out for in West Monkton

The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
