Bath resealing in Harlyn

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harlyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Bath resealing at your home in Harlyn

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Harlyn

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
