Bath resealing in Havercroft

Bath resealing in Havercroft, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Havercroft and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Havercroft

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Havercroft questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Havercroft, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Havercroft

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.
