Mould and Damp Bathroom Repair in Burslem
Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.
Bathroom mould in a Burslem home is almost never a cleaning problem — it's a moisture-in vs moisture-out imbalance. If we come in and just paint over it, it's back in six months. If we fix the extract, the cold bridges and the silicone at the same time, it doesn't come back.
We measure the extract flow at survey (l/s at the grille, not on the box), identify cold bridges with a thermal read on external walls, and re-silicone with anti-fungal grade sealant only after the moisture cause is treated.
Most of our bathroom repairs jobs in Burslem begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.

Mould and Damp Bathroom Repair FAQs — Burslem
- Why does mould keep coming back in my Burslem bathroom?
- Almost always because the extract fan is undersized, badly ducted, or missing entirely on a Burslem bathroom. Painting over it doesn't fix the moisture cycle.
- Do you test extract flow?
- Yes — we test with an anemometer at the grille on every Burslem damp job. Building Regs minimum is 15 l/s; older fans on kinked flexible ducting often measure 4-6 l/s.
- Can you treat mould without stripping tiles?
- Usually yes — the source fix (extract, silicone, insulation) doesn't need tile removal on most Burslem jobs. Only water-damaged substrate needs opening up.
- What sealant do you use?
- Anti-fungal, high-modulus neutral cure silicone with a 10-year mould warranty. Standard on every Burslem damp fix.
- How quickly can you get to a leak in Burslem?
- We aim to be on-site for water-leak callouts in Burslem within 24 – 48 hours; same-day where we can.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Burslem home liveable while the work runs.
