Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we handle bath resealing in Carlton Husthwaite

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Carlton Husthwaite questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Carlton Husthwaite. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Carlton Husthwaite?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO7 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Carlton Husthwaite?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Carlton Husthwaite from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Carlton Husthwaite. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
