Bath resealing in Hanchurch

FAQs for Hanchurch

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hanchurch.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Bath resealing at your home in Hanchurch

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Hanchurch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
