Bath resealing for Harrowden homes

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

About our bath resealing in Harrowden

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Harrowden

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Harrowden: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrowden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
