Bath resealing near Hardwick

Bath resealing in Hardwick, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Common problems we fix in Hardwick

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Hardwick customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Hardwick

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Hardwick?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Hardwick?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
