Trusted bath resealing in Hethe

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hethe

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle bath resealing in Hethe

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Hethe

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hethe?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
