Bath resealing in Hurlet, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Common problems we fix in Hurlet

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hurlet

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Hurlet, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Resealing in Hurlet: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Hurlet

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

Hurlet: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you come to Hurlet?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hurlet. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
