About our bath resealing in Hittisleigh

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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 look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hittisleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath resealing in Hittisleigh?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Hittisleigh

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
