Bath resealing in Hauxton

Bath resealing at your home in Hauxton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Hauxton

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Hauxton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Hauxton

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hauxton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Hauxton

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cambridgeshire.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
