Bath resealing in Hanover, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hanover and across Brighton and Hove.

Do you need bath resealing in Hanover?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Hanover

There is no area surcharge for Hanover. The price reflects:

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

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hanover

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hanover

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
