Bath resealing at your home in Hanwood

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Hanwood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Common questions in Hanwood

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
