Bath resealing near Harper Hill

What affects the price in Harper Hill

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Harper Hill

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harper Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harper Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Harper Hill

Are there extra charges for Harper Hill?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Harper Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
