Bath resealing in Gorst Hill, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Gorst Hill

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Gorst Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorst Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common questions in Gorst Hill

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Gorst Hill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Gorst Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gorst Hill

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Gorst Hill

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
