Do you need bath resealing in Castle Hedingham?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castle Hedingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Castle Hedingham

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
