Bath resealing in Humby, 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 many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Humby

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, for the same reason.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Humby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Humby

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Humby

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Humby

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Humby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Humby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
