Bath resealing for Hartford homes

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

About our bath resealing in Hartford

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. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Hartford questions

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hartford.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?

We cover the entire UK, including Hartford and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
