Need bath resealing in Heamoor?

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we handle bath resealing in Heamoor

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Heamoor

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Heamoor customers choose us

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Questions from Heamoor

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
