Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Whittlesford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bath resealing in Whittlesford?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Whittlesford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whittlesford

For anyone letting property in or around Whittlesford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

Whittlesford: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you come to Whittlesford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whittlesford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Different materials, different repairs

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.
