Bath resealing in Henhurst without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about stained silicone and gaps by the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Henhurst

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Henhurst?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Signs you need bath resealing in Henhurst

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise 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.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
