Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath resealing at your home in Hanwell

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Hanwell?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Hanwell. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Hanwell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Hanwell: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hanwell?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
