Trusted bath resealing in Hernston

How we handle bath resealing in Hernston

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Hernston

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hernston

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

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Hernston. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Hernston

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
