Bath resealing in Hammerwood

Bath resealing at your home in Hammerwood

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. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and unsealed corners, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Hammerwood

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hammerwood

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

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

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Hammerwood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Resealing in Hammerwood: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
