Bath resealing in Headon, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Headon. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Headon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Headon

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Headon

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
