How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Hatfield Broad Oak clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Hatfield Broad Oak

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hatfield Broad Oak?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hatfield Broad Oak

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
