Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for Yoxford

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Yoxford?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Yoxford

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Yoxford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
