Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hardwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our bath resealing in Hardwick

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and damp near the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

Do you need bath resealing in Hardwick?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

How to compare quotes

Hardwick: your questions answered

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What affects the price in Hardwick

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TS19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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