Bath resealing in Henwood

Landlords, agents and businesses in Henwood

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath resealing in Henwood without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Henwood as everywhere else we work.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Henwood

How much does bath resealing cost in Henwood?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX1 postcode.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need bath resealing in Henwood

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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