Bath resealing for Hemsworth homes

Bath resealing at your home in Hemsworth

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Hemsworth

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hemsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemsworth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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