Bath resealing in Hayne

How we handle bath resealing in Hayne

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 work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hayne

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Resealing in Hayne: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Hayne clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Hayne: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you work in Hayne?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hayne and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

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 we will quote them together.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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