Bath resealing for Haythorne homes

About our bath resealing in Haythorne

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Haythorne?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions from Haythorne

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haythorne

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
