Bath resealing in Hastingleigh, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Questions from Hastingleigh

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Hastingleigh. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hastingleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What we’re called out for in Hastingleigh

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastingleigh

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastingleigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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

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

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Hastingleigh: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
