Why it’s worth resealing in Harper's Gate

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Bath resealing in Harper's Gate, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Harper's Gate: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Harper's Gate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Harper's Gate?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Harper's Gate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Harper's Gate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Harper's Gate

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Harper's Gate

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harper's Gate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
