Bath resealing in Howbrook

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Howbrook, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Howbrook: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Howbrook: your questions answered

Do you come to Howbrook?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Howbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Howbrook?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Howbrook

For anyone letting property in or around Howbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically the cheaper route.

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.
