Bath resealing in Hooke

Hooke questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How we handle bath resealing in Hooke

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hooke

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.

If you manage property in Hooke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Hooke: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Hooke clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Signs you need bath resealing in Hooke

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
