Bath resealing near Haddenham

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Bath resealing at your home in Haddenham

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. Whether it’s damp near the bath and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

Haddenham: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Haddenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
