How we handle bath resealing in Heart's Delight

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Heart's Delight

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Heart's Delight. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heart's Delight

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Heart's Delight

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Heart's Delight?

We do. Technicians travel to Heart's Delight from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Heart's Delight. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
