Bath resealing in Hartlington

Bath resealing at your home in Hartlington

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Hartlington questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hartlington.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Hartlington

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Hartlington. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
