Bath resealing in Hornestreet

How we handle bath resealing in Hornestreet

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Resealing in Hornestreet: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hornestreet

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Hornestreet?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hornestreet. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Hornestreet?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
