Trusted bath resealing in Hockerton

Bath resealing in Hockerton, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Hockerton

Do you come to Hockerton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hockerton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hockerton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
