Bath resealing in Halling, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Halling

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Questions from Halling

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you come to Halling?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Halling for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When to call us in Halling

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
