Bath resealing in Healey

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Healey

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. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Healey: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Healey. Prices do not change with location.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
