Resealing in Hannington: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Hannington questions

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Landlord and trade work in Hannington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in Hannington?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hannington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
