DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle bath resealing in Harden

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Harden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Harden

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Harden clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Harden questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we are called out for in Harden

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
