When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Harlton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harlton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Harlton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

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

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
