Bath resealing for Bottom of Hutton homes

Bottom of Hutton questions

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we handle bath resealing in Bottom of Hutton

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Bottom of Hutton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Bottom of Hutton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bottom of Hutton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
