In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Heads Nook. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Heads Nook

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from Heads Nook

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Heads Nook?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Heads Nook included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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