About our bath resealing in Chuck Hatch

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Chuck Hatch

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Chuck Hatch

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes
