How we handle bath resealing in East Hardwick

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in East Hardwick

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover East Hardwick?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Hardwick. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in East Hardwick

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in East Hardwick

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
