How we handle bath resealing in Higham Ferrers

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Higham Ferrers. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Higham Ferrers

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Materials we work on in Higham Ferrers

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Higham Ferrers: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
