About our bath resealing in Hanford

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hanford and across Stoke-on-Trent.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hanford

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hanford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Hanford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hanford

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

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

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Your questions about bath resealing in Hanford

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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