Bath resealing near Gun Hill

What we are called out for in Gun Hill

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Gun Hill contact us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Bath resealing at your home in Gun Hill

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.

Rural addresses like Gun Hill just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gun Hill

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Wet rooms

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Gun Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Gun Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Gun Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
