Bath resealing for Hackman's Gate homes

How we handle bath resealing in Hackman's Gate

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hackman's Gate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Hackman's Gate

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DY9 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Hackman's Gate?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hackman's Gate

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackman's Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hackman's Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
