Bath resealing in Ault Hucknall, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Ault Hucknall

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
