Trusted bath resealing in Hinstock

Bath resealing in Hinstock without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Hinstock

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hinstock

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hinstock

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hinstock, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why us?

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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