Bath resealing in Hougham, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Hougham: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Hougham

When to call us in Hougham

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Hougham contact us are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Hougham questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hougham?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
