Bath resealing at your home in Hounsdown

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do I need to be at home?

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hounsdown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
