Bath resealing for Harestock homes

Bath resealing in Harestock without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Harestock

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Harestock questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How much does bath resealing cost in Harestock?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Harestock?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
