Trusted bath resealing in Hodnet

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Advice

About our bath resealing in Hodnet

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hodnet. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hodnet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Hodnet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hodnet

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hodnet as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Hodnet

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hodnet.

Do you come to Hodnet?

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

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hodnet included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Hodnet?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Is resealing worth it?

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