How we handle bath resealing in Hive

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hive and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hive, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need bath resealing in Hive?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hive

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

Questions from Hive

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Riding of Yorkshire.
