Bath resealing for Harlow Wood homes

Aftercare tips

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

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

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Harlow Wood

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Harlow Wood

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Harlow Wood. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Harlow Wood?

We do. Technicians travel to Harlow Wood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Harlow Wood

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resealing in Harlow Wood: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
