Bath resealing for Hardwick homes

Bath resealing at your home in Hardwick

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B74 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Hardwick

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 generally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Hardwick

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, 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 old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
