Trusted bath resealing in Ham

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

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

How we handle bath resealing in Ham

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Ham

Do you come to Ham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

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