DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

About our bath resealing in Harbury

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Harbury questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Harbury

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harbury

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Harbury and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
