How we handle bath resealing in Hanmer

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hanmer

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Hanmer questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Hanmer?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Hanmer

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Hanmer

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hanmer. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
