Bath resealing for Hemswell Cliff homes

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Hemswell Cliff. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Bath resealing in Hemswell Cliff, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hemswell Cliff

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Hemswell Cliff

Do you come to Hemswell Cliff?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hemswell Cliff from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Hemswell Cliff?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemswell Cliff

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemswell Cliff as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
