Bath resealing near Hemingfield

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

About our bath resealing in Hemingfield

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hemingfield

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before booking

Hemingfield: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
