About our bath resealing in Halfway

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Halfway. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about bath resealing in Halfway

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Halfway?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Halfway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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