Resealing in Heath and Reach: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Heath and Reach: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
