Resealing in Hixon: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

About our bath resealing in Hixon

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hixon and across Staffordshire.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hixon

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work in Hixon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hixon and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hixon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hixon

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hixon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
