Bath resealing near Harriseahead

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

About our bath resealing in Harriseahead

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Harriseahead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Harriseahead

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Harriseahead

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we work on in Harriseahead

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harriseahead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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