About our bath resealing in Heckfordbridge

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Heckfordbridge

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

What we can’t put right

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Heckfordbridge. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Heckfordbridge

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
