How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing at your home in Wivelsfield Green

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and stained silicone.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Wivelsfield Green: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
