How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Whippendell Bottom

Do you need bath resealing in Whippendell Bottom?
