About our bath resealing in Hempstead

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Hempstead questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hempstead?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR25 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Landlord and trade work in Hempstead

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
