Bath resealing in Hackness without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hackness?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hackness

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hackness

For anyone letting property in or around Hackness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
