Your questions about bath resealing in Hathern

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Hathern and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hathern?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Bath resealing at your home in Hathern

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hathern

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Hathern

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

Resealing in Hathern: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
