Resealing in Harefield: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harefield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

About our bath resealing in Harefield

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. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and stained silicone, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Common problems we fix in Harefield

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Harefield: your questions answered

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
