Bath resealing at your home in Harlow Hill

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Harlow Hill: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.

Are there extra charges for Harlow Hill?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Harlow Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Harlow Hill. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
