Bath resealing in Higham

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we handle bath resealing in Higham

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, we can help.

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

Questions from Higham

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Higham is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Higham?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Higham?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Higham

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We also cover the places around Higham: Fence (1 mile north-east), Wheatley Lane (2 miles north-east), Spen Brook (2 miles north-east), Newchurch in Pendle (2 miles north-east) and Brierfield (3 miles east).

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Higham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BB12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Higham

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
