Bath resealing for Hattersley homes

Bath resealing in Hattersley, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hattersley

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Hattersley questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Do you cover Hattersley?

We do. We send a technician to Hattersley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When to call us in Hattersley

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
