Bath resealing for Heage homes

How we handle bath resealing in Heage

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures

Common questions in Heage

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What affects the price in Heage

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heage. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Heage and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Signs you need bath resealing in Heage

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
