When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Headley

  • Shower trays & enclosures

How we handle bath resealing in Headley

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Headley as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Headley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Headley

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Headley: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Headley. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Headley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
