What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hawkesley

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

Bath resealing in Hawkesley without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Hawkesley

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Hawkesley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hawkesley and the rest of Birmingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When to call us in Hawkesley

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Hawkesley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
