Bath resealing in Highsted

How we handle bath resealing in Highsted

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Highsted

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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.

What we’re called out for in Highsted

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Highsted

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Highsted?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Highsted. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Highsted?

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
