Common questions in Harlaxton

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath resealing in Harlaxton?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Harlaxton

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 without visiting.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
