Need bath resealing in Hampreston?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Hampreston

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Hampreston: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hampreston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Hampreston

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
