Bath resealing for Great Heck homes

Bath resealing in Great Heck, 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. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and stained silicone.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Great Heck questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Great Heck

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Heck

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Heck as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure 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, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Great Heck?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
