Bath resealing for Benham Hill homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing in Benham Hill, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benham Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we work on in Benham Hill

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Benham Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Benham Hill

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can shower?

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

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Benham Hill?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you work in Benham Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Benham Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
