Bath resealing for Heydon homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we handle bath resealing in Heydon

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath resealing in Heydon

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What we’re called out for in Heydon

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Heydon. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in Heydon

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add 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.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
