Bath resealing for Higher Dinting homes

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Higher Dinting

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Higher Dinting: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
