Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

About our bath resealing in Hornton

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. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Hornton

How much does bath resealing cost in Hornton?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Common problems we fix in Hornton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
