How we handle bath resealing in Hawsker

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Hawsker

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Hawsker

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hawsker. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Hawsker: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
