Trusted bath resealing in Headstone

Bath resealing in Headstone without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When to call us in Headstone

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why it’s worth resealing in Headstone

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

FAQs for Headstone

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Headstone?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is my repair covered?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Headstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
