Trusted bath resealing in Beaumont Hill

Bath resealing in Beaumont Hill, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Beaumont Hill

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Beaumont Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Beaumont Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Beaumont Hill. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Beaumont Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Beaumont Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
