For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
