Bath resealing near Hay Street

Bath resealing in Hay Street, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Hay Street: your questions answered

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hay Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
