How we handle bath resealing in Hooton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we are called out for in Hooton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Hooton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
