Common questions in East Hendred
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Bath resealing in East Hendred, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in East Hendred
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in East Hendred contact us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
