Bath resealing near Hinxhill

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinxhill

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

About our bath resealing in Hinxhill

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Hinxhill

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hinxhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Hinxhill?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
