Bath resealing in Hookwood

Bath resealing in Hookwood without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Hookwood

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Hookwood

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hookwood?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
