Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Halfway House

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Halfway House and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Halfway House

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Halfway House?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Halfway House for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Halfway House

We charge the same across the UK, including Halfway House. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Halfway House, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Halfway House

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
