Trusted bath resealing in Highcliffe

Do you need bath resealing in Highcliffe?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Your questions about bath resealing in Highcliffe

What information do you need?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 will not last.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
