Bath resealing in Hoswick

Bath resealing in Hoswick without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Hoswick

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Hoswick

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you come to Hoswick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hoswick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
