Bath resealing in Harford

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath resealing at your home in Harford

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, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Harford

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

When to call us in Harford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Harford: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When can you do it?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
