Bath resealing for Hamstall Ridware homes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

About our bath resealing in Hamstall Ridware

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hamstall Ridware, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Hamstall Ridware

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Hamstall Ridware

Can pets and children be at home?

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?
