Trusted bath resealing in Hurlston

Bath resealing in Hurlston without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hurlston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Hurlston: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

Are you accredited?

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

What we’re called out for in Hurlston

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

Common reasons people in Hurlston contact us are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
