Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Hackford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Hackford

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hackford

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Hackford

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hackford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
