Questions from Hazelslack

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long does resealing take?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Bath resealing in Hazelslack, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Hazelslack

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Hazelslack, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Hazelslack

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
