Bath resealing near Chipping

Bath resealing in Chipping, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Chipping and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we work on in Chipping

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Chipping

Do you cover Chipping?

We do. We send a technician to Chipping for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Chipping and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
