Bath resealing for Halland homes

How we handle bath resealing in Halland

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Halland. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Halland

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Halland?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
