How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Workhouse End

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Workhouse End

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do you come to Workhouse End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Workhouse End. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Workhouse End. Prices don’t change with location.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are there extra charges for Workhouse End?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 Workhouse End

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Workhouse End?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Workhouse End

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
