Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

Common questions in Horton Heath

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How much does bath resealing cost in Horton Heath?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When to call us in Horton Heath

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Horton Heath. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
