Need bath resealing in Horndean?

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath resealing at your home in Horndean

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Horndean

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does resealing take?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Horndean, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Horndean

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
